Ex-Sunderland man Muntari sent home from World Cup

FORMER Sunderland midfielder Sulley Muntari has been suspended indefinitely from the national team and sent home from the World Cup in Brazil for disciplinary reasons, the Ghana Football Association has announced.

AC Milan’s Muntari, along with Schalke midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng, have both had their World Cup accreditation withdrawn.

The two former Portsmouth players will play no part in Ghana’s must-win last group match against Portugal in Brasilia today.

The squad has been a state of rebellion over unpaid appearance feeand Muntari is reported to have slapped a senior GFA official during a heated meeting.

Boateng “verbally abused” coach Kwesi Appiah, said the GFA.

A statement from the association said: “The GFA has suspended Sulley Ali Muntari indefinitely from the Black Stars with immediate effect.

“The decision was taken in the wake of his unprovoked physical attack on an executive committee member of the GFA and a management member of the Black Stars, Mr Moses Armah on Tuesday 24th June, 2014 during a meeting.
